Diagnostic Test

  1. OXYGEN SENSOR 1/2 HEATER CONTROL OPERATION 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
      NOTE: Wait A Minimum Of 8 minutes to allow the sensor to cool down before continuing. The sensor voltage should stabilize between 2.47 and 2.52 volts.
    2. Turn the ignition on.
    3. With a scan tool, actuate the Oxygen Sensor 1/1 heater control.
    4. With the scan tool, monitor 1/1 O2 Sensor Volts for at least 2 minutes.

      Does the voltage stay between 2.47 and 2.52 volts?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

  2. OXYGEN SENSOR 1/2 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
      NOTE: Wait a minimum of 8 minutes to allow the sensor to cool down before continuing.
    2. Disconnect the Oxygen Sensor 1/2 harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the O2 sensor heater element across the Oxygen Sensor 1/2 connector between the heater control terminal and the ground terminal.
      NOTE: The O2 heater element resistance should be measured at 70° F (21.1° C). The resistance value will vary at different temperatures.

      Is the resistance between 2.0 and 30.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  3

      No 

  3. (K299) O2 1/2 HEATER CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE

    1. Disconnect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) harness connector.
    2. Measure the resistance of the (K299) O2 1/2 Heater Control circuit from the Oxygen Sensor 1/2 harness connector to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 0.5 ohm?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  4

      No 

  4. (Z924/Z932) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE

    1. Using a 12 volt test light connected to 12 volts, check the (Z924/Z932) Ground circuit in the Oxygen Sensor 1/2 harness connector.
      NOTE: The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.

      Is the test light illuminated and bright?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  5

      No 

  5. POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) 
    1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Oxygen Sensor 1/2 and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
    2. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched or partially broken wires.
    3. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
    4. Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) that may apply.

      Were any problems found?

      Yes 

      No
